Anupam Kher Terms Article 370 As 'Cancer' & People Have Mixed Reactions To His Statement

Yesterday, PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah did something unimaginable as they announced the decision of Article 370 of the Constitution that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir being scrapped. Some hailed this decision while some were not in favour of it as they found it was unnecessary to do so.

But, Kashmiri Pandits all over the nation were seen celebrating this big news and now, Anupam Kher who has always stood by the welfare of Kashmiri Pandits has welcomed this decision by Modi.

In a video that ANI tweeted, Anupam Kher said that Article 370 was no less than a "cancer" for Jammu and Kashmir. He said, “Today marks a remarkable day in the history of our great nation India. The most damaging Article 370 has been abolished by Modi govt from J&K. Being a Kashmiri myself, it's an emotionally powerful moment to witness history unfold before my own eyes.”

He went on to add, “Article 370 was cancer that was harming J&K for last several decades. I am glad, we have finally found a cure & we now can march towards development & peace in J&K.”

While u wake up in #NY dont forget there is a curfew and 80k indian soldiers suppressing the freedom of speech and . Dont be so excited u dont speak for the people of Kashmir, their leaders is in prison. Shame on you for being part of this facist agenda!! Freedom makes it's way!!

Aug5 will go down in history as the day when Modi became Hitler and eventually he will have the same end as Hitler. After that India will flourish like Germeny and it will be Great Indians unlike you who will save India from this dictator. Shame on you. #KashmirBleedsForJustice
